lyrics

If this is life then I’m wanting out;
one more goodbye then I'm dropping out.
There is no purpose or meaning, no reason to qualify breathing in; breathing out.
Value determined by consequence; essence dependent on existence:
reality is a construct of unanswered questions decaying our cerebrum.

Nothing is sacred; kindness is fiction;
nothing you do is a choice, volition's a contradiction.
Selfishness is all we’re made of.

There is no altruism
and no such thing as love.
All life is mechanism,
nothing to be proud of.

There is no worth in life -
intrinsic merit in sentience doesn’t exist without sentient life to attribute it.
Ethics are arbitrary,
the concept of right artificially set by a race that then fails to adhere to it.

Watch us waste away,
let this putrid world decay,
give me one reason to save it; forgive it; one reason to let it live.

Leave nothing alive,
torch the Earth and sear the sky.
Out of the crooked timber of man nothing straight ever could be made.

There’s no murder we won’t try to justify,
but that’s human nature, ain’t it?

There’s no murder we won’t try to justify,
but that’s human nature. End it.

Family; trust; government; lust; romance and love; all the above
only exist if our consciousness makes them up.
Happiness is not an ideal of our reasoning but
imagination and it feels like mine’s wired shut.
For all the logic that I’ve paid so dearly to compile,
I still can’t find a way to make this lifetime seem worthwhile.
Take it all away,
expunge the starlight from the sky.

No more humans;
no more torment;
If the world finds sleep tonight,
I'll pray it won’t wake up.
